Fare Thee Well

If I had wings like Noah's dove
 I'd fly cross the river to the one I love
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
 I loved a man who was long and tall
 He moved his body like a cannonball
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
 Late last night in the pouring rain
 Round my heart was an aching pain
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
 Beside the river I sat and cried
 I heard him singing on the other side
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
 One of these days, and it won't be long
 You'll call my name and I'll be gone
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
 As sure as birds fly up above
 Life is hard living without the one you love
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
 If I had wings like Noah's dove
 I'd fly cross the river to the one I love
 Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
 Fare thee well
